sulasailor:  I wonder what Super Photonics translates to in Mandarin Shash?  It might well sound a tad more exciting to the Chinese ear than the comic book tone it conveys in English.

Sula, I tried to post the Mandarin for this, but because it is a foreign language Agoracom.com Admin won't allow it to be posted.  I have not read all the replies to your post yet, not even close, but I suspect someone has already addressed this issue.   Since I can't use Pin Yin or Mandarin characters I will try to invent some thing Agoracom will accept, unfortunately without any expression of the Mandarin tones, which really are essential but which Agoracom won't allow.   

Very  roughly (Very!!!) :  Chow Jee would approximate Mandarin for "Super"  and Gwang zuh approximates Mandarin for "Photon".  The word Gwang in Mandarin ( again, very rough approximation because tone indication is essential and I  can't use the tone marks here ) is the word for "Light"   So, it would translate roughly into "Super Photon" in Mandarin.  Hope this gets through the filter, since it is perfectly polite otherwise.  Okiedo
